"Mr President, I welcome this report and I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on the excellent job she has done.
I particularly appreciate the report highlighting the fact that the nearly 80 million EU citizens with disabilities are still coming up against obstacles when it comes to free movement. Free movement is perhaps our Union’s biggest achievement, and it must include all citizens.
The report contains many interesting proposals, for example, the Internet portal to allow national, regional and local authorities to flag up those areas in which manpower is needed. The purpose of this is to increase and promote labour immigration.
I also very much appreciate the fact that the amendments I have signed along with many other Members have been given so much consideration, namely, with regard to encouraging the Member States to guarantee that freedom of movement will apply to all EU citizens and their family members without any discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or nationality.
These rights are to apply to different-sex spouses and to same-sex partners and members of an EU citizen’s household, including same-sex couples. That is something that I am very pleased about."@en1
